LibriVox recording of Poems, by Wilfred Owen. Read by volunteer readers.
A collection of poems by the English war poet and soldier of the First World War, Wilfred Owen. Owen is regarded by historians as the leading poet of the First World War, known for his war poetry on the horrors of trench and gas warfare. It stood in stark contrast to both the public perception of war at the time, and to the confidently patriotic verse written earlier by war poets such as Rupert Brooke. Only five of Owen's poems had been published before his death, one of which was in fragmentary form. Only one week before the end of the war, whilst attempting to traverse a canal, he was shot in the head and killed. (Summary modified from Wikipedia)

This Librivox offering deserves a huge audience, especially among the many young people who study these poems. Most of the readers give very fine renditions of these beautiful and terrible verses.
